There is too much talk and gossip pictures are apparently made, like stock-market prices, by competition of people eager for profits... All this traffic sharpens our intelligence and falsifies our judgment.
Edgar Degas
Image
These women of mine are decent, simple human beings who have no other concern than that of their physical condition... it is as though one were watching through a keyhole.

The museums are here to teach the history of art and something more as well, for, if they stimulate in the weak a desire to imitate, they furnish the strong with the means of their emancipation.
Edgar Degas
Image

A painting requires a little mystery, some vagueness, and some fantasy. When you always make your meaning perfectly plain you end up boring people.
Edgar Degas
Image

There is love, and there is work and we have only one heart.
Edgar Degas
Image
Even in front of nature one must compose.
Edgar Degas
Image
A picture is an artificial work, outside nature. It calls for as much cunning as the commission of a crime.
Edgar Degas
Image
A picture is a thing which requires as much knavery, as much malice, and as much vice as the perpetration of a crime. Make it untrue and add an accent of truth.
Edgar Degas
Image
Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.
Edgar Degas
Image
It seems to me that today if the artist wishes to be serious... he must once more sink himself in solitude.
Edgar Degas
Image
For those who don't know what they are doing, painting is easy. For those who do know what they are doing, painting is difficult.

What a horrible thing yellow is.
